Alright. Here is the next chapter. I'm not sure if anyone will like this chapter. I may be rushing things a bit but it just felt right as I was writing it. I hope everyone will be okay with this chapter and please give me your thoughts about it. Thanks in advance!


After their little confrontation with Finn out in the hallway, the two girl's sat side by side at one of the lunch room tables with the rest of the Glee Club. It was very interesting to say the least, to sit there with all of the other members of the club as they stared at them. Each with different expressions on their faces that showed what they thought about their relationship.

Most of the club had an amused look on their faces. Which showed Rachel and Santana that they had accepted them for who they were and that they were very happy that they themselves seemed happy with each other. On the other hand there were a couple that had a different look on their features. Puck for instance had a smirk lingering on his lips, that expressed that he thought the whole situation was 'hot'. Lauren looked as though she could care less about them cause she just continued to eat what was left on her tray before picking up some things that was on Puck's tray. Quinn on the other hand, she seemed to be the only one besides Finn that didn't look happy to see the two like this.

"What is your problem, Stretch Mark?" Santana sneered, no longer able to hold her tongue anymore. Throughout most of lunch she tried to ignore the little looks they had been recieving from the girl.

"Nothing." Quinn said nonchalantly as she shrugged her shoulders and looked down at the small salad bowl infront of her. "I'm just a bit surprised is all. I mean, if you were going to be a lesbian Santana the least you could do is go after Brittany. I didn't think you would stoop so low as to try and sex-up Man Hands."

"Hey!" Santana snapped, leaning over the table towards her. "Watch what you call my girlfriend, Tubbers!"

"All I'm saying is that I just don't understand why you wouldn't want to stay with Brittany. I mean, I thought you two had a good thing going."

'That bitch.' Santana thought, sitting up a bit straighter. Realizing what it was that Quinn was trying to do. And that was trying to ruin her relationship with Rachel. She was always trying to ruin things for Santana. She wanted to be the captain of cheerios but the moment Coach saw the perfect blonde, she got it. She wanted to get noticed more and got a boob job, only for her to get thrown under the bus by her 'so called friend' which dropped her to the bottom of the pyramid. And now she was trying to ruin what she had just started with Rachel?

"I'm sorry?" Rachel asked softly, not fully understanding what Quinn had meant. When no one answered right away she turned to look at her girlfriend, hoping to get an answer. "What is she talking about?"

"Nothing, babe." Santana answered as she continued to stare down the blonde.

"Santana. Please don't lie to me."

"It's nothing. I promise." Santana sighed, finally turning to look at her girlfriend. "Me and Britt just had a thing a while back. That's it."

Rachel took in a deep breath as she processed the information about her girlfriend having a thing with Brittany. To be honest it really didn't surprise her because those two were connected at the hip all the time. So, it made a lot of sense what Quinn had just said. Brittany and Santana had been best friends for so long and they were so good with each other that it actually made sense that they would be a couple. Not her and Santana. It made Rachel start to question why Santana wanted her and not the beautiful tall blonde.

Santana instantly saw the wheels turning in her girlfriends head about what she had just learned about herself and Brittany. Rachel was thinking too much. And that was something that the latina didn't want her to do because it could mean that everything that she had worked for in getting Rachel as her girlfriend could be thrown away. "Tiny, stop it. Don't." She warned as she wrapped her arm around her. "I want to be with you. Not Brittany." She assured, trying her hardest to get the girl to believe her.

"I believe you." Rachel said softly, giving her a small smile.


Once the bell rang, indicating that lunch was finished and that classes were starting back up again. The two girl's walked to their next class which they happened to be photography. It was by far their favorite class because they shared it together, well, besides for Glee of course. But then again, Glee was an after school activity and not an actual class. Santana was looking forwards to photography, mainly because Jew-Fro was in that class with them.

Walking through the door of their classroom, Santana immediately smirked at seeing the said boy sitting down in his usual seat in the corner of the room. Ignoring her girlfriends protest of confronting the kid as she strode up to him with a determined look on her face. Stopping just in front of him on the other side of the table where she set her palms down on the surface and leaned towards him.

"Jew-fro." She addressed.

"S-santana." He stuttered out as he looked up at her.

"I want to thank you for 'outing' Rachel and I to the school." She growled. "Cause now, it gives me a reason to ends you."

The latina quickly launched forwards to get her hands on the teenage boy sitting there, who without hesitation scooted his chair back in an attempt to get away from the fury of the girl trying to attack him. Luckily, he had a savior in the teenage girl he had been in love with since he first saw her. Rachel instantly grabbed a hold of Santana and struggled to pull the taller girl back. And when I say 'struggled', I mean she really had to use her strength to try and keep her away from Jacob. Now it made sense to the diva why so many had to hold the girl back when she ever tried to go after someone. Santana was strong and determined to get whom ever she was trying to get at.

"Santana!" Rachel shrieked, trying to keep the girl in place. "Stop it!"

It took a few minutes before she was able to get Santana to stop her attempts at getting at Jacob and turn to face her. The taller girl took in a deep breath while trying to compose herself as her girlfriend removed her hands from her person. Santana then turned to Jew-fro once more and pointed at him. "This ain't over."

"Yes. It is." Rachel insisted as she took her girlfriends hand and led her to their table. "Was that really nessessary, Santana?"

"Uh, yeah. It was." Santana nodded her head, taking her seat. "He 'outed' us, Rach. He's lucky I wasn't able to get my hands on him."

Rachel sighed some before looking past her to Jacob for a moment before turning to look back at Santana. "Did you really want to get your hands on him?" She asked, with discust lingering in her eyes.

Arching her brow before turning back to look at the kid, shaking her head. "Now that you mention it. No. Not really. I don't really want to get a tetanus shot."

The smaller girl giggled some.

"Don't let him get to you. So, we've been outed. It just means that we don't have to hide."

Santana looked her over some, trying to read into her girlfriend's facial features. Wondering if there was anything there that showed that she was scared or nervous about what had transpired today. When she saw nothing that indicated that she was unsure about the two of them as a couple, she smiled. She slowly reached out her hand and took one of Rachel's hand in her own and bringing it up to her lips, so that she could place a soft kiss on her knuckles.

"How did I get so lucky to get a girlfriend like you."

The diva looked at her hand, blushing softly. "I'm the lucky one."

"Rachel. I want you to know that...I've never been as happy as I am right now, with you." Santana confessed while looking into her eyes.

"I'm happy too, San."

Santana took in a deep breath. "I'm in love with you, Rachel." Silence took over the two girls. Rachel was in a bit of shock and tried to open her mouth to speak but nothing was coming out. "It's okay. I don't expect you to say it back. I just...I needed you to know that I 'am' serious about you, Tiny. And know matter what comes our way, I'm not going anywhere."

The confession caused tears to weld up in Rachel's eyes as she listened to every single word. Never had she felt the way she was feeling at that moment. Yes, when Finn had expressed his love for her, she felt giddy but hearing Santana declare her love for her made her heart swell. The small girl felt as though the whole world had stopped leaving the two alone in their own world. It was simple love. She knew it. This was something that could only be discribed in a book or a movie yet hear she was experiencing it herself.


The whole school day went by really quickly or so it seemed. It had been nice for the girls to be able to walk down the halls hand and hand without any real fear. The only thing that was bothering Santana was the fact that the hockey players had yet to make an appearance with names to be called and or slushies in hand but nothing which meant they would most likely get to them tomorrow.

It was now time for Glee Club which meant more time for the two to be together before they went home. But then again, Santana knew that she would end up at Rachels' so that they could get her mack on. That thought severed to turn into memories of the two making out on the diva's bed over the last couple of days. That was something that she was looking forwards to.

Seeing that they're previous task of singing an anthem about themselves had pretty much been done and over with now, they were able to move onto another subject. Not many noticed that Rachel had been the only one not to finish their last task because she was usually the first one up off her chair and infront of the class. Not that the small girl was complaining, she was far too happy sitting next to Santana. That scene was really upsetting one person in the club and that was Finn who couldn't help but glare at the two girls from the front row which used to be Rachel's usual seat that was until her and Santana started dating.

"Alright guys!" Mr. Shue addressed, clapping his hands together as he walked through the door.

Before he was able to say anymore, as if on cue, Rachel was out of Santana's arms, up off her chair and standing in the middle of the room with a bright smile on her face. "Mr. Shue, if I may...I have a song that I would like to perform?"

Mr. Shue looked at her then back to the rest of the class to see if anyone was going to object but when seeing nothing he turned his attention back to Rachel and gave her a small smile and a nod. "Of course. Go ahead, Rachel."

"Thank you, Mr. Shue." Rachel began as she turned to talk to the group. "As all of you know, Santana and I are offically a couple-"

"Do we really have to listen to this?" Finn interrupted, not wanting to hear Rachel sing a song that may have to do with Santana in anyway shape or form.

"Shut it, you over grown ape." Santana snapped.

"Yeah, we never said anything when you or Rachel sang to each other." Mercedes added.

"Mercedes is right, Finn. I'm sorry." Mr. Shue apologized before turning to the small girl that stood beside him. "Go ahead, Rachel."

The girl nodded her head when she was given permission to continue on with singing the song she wanted to sing. Turning towards Brad to let him know that she was ready and that she just wanted him to play the song she had given him earlier. The older man just gave a nod before he began playing.

Rachel took in a deep breath, hoping that by singing this song she wasn't doing the wrong thing but after Santana's confession of love just reminded her that it was the right song choice. She just hoped her girlfriend approved.

"I am home now, home now
I've been waiting for forever to find you, to find you
I'm not alone now, alone now
Cause you've taken in my heart from the cold
All I know is every time I look into your eyes I'm home, I know."

The smaller girl's eyes connected with Santana's and the two just stared at one another. A smile lingering on the latina's lips as she watched and listened to the song Rachel was singing.

"You're where I belong
I belong with you
You're where I belong
And I know it's the truth
You're part of my heart
There's nothing I can do
Oh you're the one who keeps me warm
My baby you're where I belong

You're my first taste, first taste
Of the sweetest feeling I've ever known, that I've known
You're my sage place, my safe place
From a world that can be so cruel and cold
You're my harbor, you're my shelter, you're that welcome smile
That lets me know I'm home

You're where I belong
I belong with you
You're where I belong
And I know it's the truth
You're part of my heart
There's nothing I can do
Oh you're the one who keeps me warm
My baby you're where I belong

You're the one I come too, yeah
To keep me from the cold

You're where I belong
I belong with you
You're where I belong
And I know it's the truth
You're part of my heart
There's nothing I can do
Oh you're the one who keeps me warm
My baby you're where I belong"

As the song continued on, Brittany and Tina stood up from their chairs and took places behind Rachel and began to sway in the background as they sand back up.

"(You're where I belong, you're my only home)
You're where I belong (You're where I belong)
(You're where I belong, you're my only home)
You're where I belong (You're where I belong)
(You're where I belong, You're my only home)
You're where I belong I am home now, home now."

When the song concluded, Rachel smiled a bit shyly as she looked up at her girlfriend who was smiling back at her, her eyes glazed a bit with what looked to be tears which surprised the small girl. Turning to Brittany and Tina, thanking them before making her way up to Santana, taking her seat next to her before placing a kiss on the girl's lips.

"Thank you." Was all that Santana could manage to say as she tried to control her emotions. She wasn't used to being brought to tears because of a song that was sang to her.


Chapter 10! I'm actually quite pleased with the fact that I was able to write this up so quickly. Thank goodness I had today off so that I could get this all out of my head. Haha. I hope everyone enjoyed it.
